The Rancher She Loved - Ann Roth

A chance to prove himself.

Learning that she was adopted is the biggest shock of magazine writer Sarah Tigarden's life. Falling in love with champion bull rider Clay Hollyer is a close second. Years ago, she shared a sizzling kiss with the handsome rodeo star, only to hear that he was a player who enjoyed toying with women.

But, as Sarah searches for her birth mother, Clay is unexpectedly by her side. Can this really be the same guy she condemned as a womaniser? As she gets closer to learning the stunning truth about her biological mom, Sarah also finds herself getting closer to Clay. Her head tells her it's a mistake...but her heart isn't so sure.
